=== Setting db variables to default values ===
+
e.g. iptables logging
Any db variable that has a default value can be reset to the default by deleting the variable entirely, then re-initializing the default database values as follows:
 
config delprop <key> <prop>
 
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/initialize-default-databases
 
  
==== Delete a property value ====
+
Default = most
To delete the property
+
Options =  - some, all
db accounts delprop <key> <prop>
 
 
 
==== Reset a property value ====
 
To reset to an empty value
 
  db accounts setprop <key> <prop> <nowiki>''</nowiki>

Questions:<br />
 
Does initialize-default-databases only set the defaults on poperties that are missing? If so I think that needs to be stated, I'd not want to set the entire db to defaults...
 
 
 
The angle brackets is how I always indicate that something is a marker rather than what you actually type. What is the contribs.org style?
 
 
 
"config ..."  or "db accounts ...", let's be consistent please. "db accounts ..." would only work if the <key> <prop> is in the accounts db wouldn't it? "config ..." works across all the db's doesn't it?<br />
